Oblivion for the third time. My favorite movie of the year, amazing story, characters, soundtrack and breathtaking cinematography! 9/10!

That moment of the film freaked me out although it was momentary, and i wanted to rewind and freeze there. IIRC, They said the exploding of the moon caused huge tidal waves etc, but from the pic it seems the moon is very much there although not in one piece. So the gravitation force will still be roughly the same.

Science books in my childhood days used to say that when the moon reaches a certain distance from the earth (2.5 times the radius of the earth) the tidal forces of the Earth will cause the moon to break into bits. The pieces would then circle the earth around the equator causing brilliant or spectacular sunsets. They did not mention huge tidal waves or tsunamis. (Roche Limit I think)

Went to the Hall and watched "MADRAS CAFE",it was about LTTE and the attrocities committed by them in Sri lanka..So many poor and innocent people died in the conflict.At the end V prabhakaran got what he deserved!I know he was fighting for tamil people rights over there but for some odd reason i cannot fathom how killing people would have helped him realize his goals!

Saw two lousy flicks of late. I knew the moment i saw Kurt Russell on the starring list that Stargate was gonna be awful. Then last nights movie had Bruce Willis on the list. 12 Monkeys. Weak plot. Just avoid them.

Get the Gringo (2012) - Mel Gibson did a very fine job. I thought it was very entertaining. 7/10

The Master (2012) - Extremely artful peace of a drama film. Though I thought the plot was kinda drawn out at times. Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I liked it. Joaquin Phoenix was just brilliant as usual. 8/10

Just saw "The World's End". At first, I was thinking there was something almost Dada-esque in its absolute silliness- but the way they tried to wrap up/ explain everything at the end sort of spoiled its total senselessness.

I thought clones were supposed to be born not created at a certain age. That meant that they would have different childhoods and therefore a different personality and set of memories. Moon and Oblivion seem to go a different way.

The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and was nominated for eight Golden Raspberry Awards, ultimately winning in the categories of Worst Actor and Worst Screenplay. It was a subject of controversy and criticism due to its comedic portrayal of ... (censored).

A documentary about Killer Whales (Orca) kept in captivity by Sea World. I was never a fan of animals kept in circuses and trained to perform and this movie just reinforces by belief. Zoos are okay as we need to educate the children and they serve an academic purpose for researchers.
8/10 - highly recommended documentary

Documentary on wine producers from Bordeaux in France and how they are affected by the rise of wine demand in China. It is a very interesting take on how China's economic rise is affecting the world, e.g. the price of fine wine reached a level that most traditional markets like America could not afford it. The documentary has an almost balance view of the issue.

I learned a lot from the documentary, though it has one flaw that the Sea World decline to be interviewed, so we have only one side of the story. But most of the people in the documentary are former Sea World Orca trainers, which give weight to their argument.

I have been watching some really good documentaries and this one is the best:

Fire in Babylon

About the greatest cricket team in history, arguably the greatest team in any sport, West Indies cricket team which was undefeated for 15 years in test matches. Even if you have never played or even seen cricket, as a sports fan you will like this one. 9/10. Here is the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l7qIFu3YDk

Brits start out to make their version of "The Hangover" but it devolves into "Night of the Living Dead" and ends up as "The Road." Repartee diaglogue more clever than funny....an actual snippet: man A - "He thinks the Bermuda Triangle may really be a square"....man B - "maybe it's two isosceles triangles put together to form a rhombus."

Insidious 2 - to avoid paying 11.50 to watch a movie I woke up early Saturday and paid 6.50 to watch the 1030am showing. Arent matinee's a good thing? The movie is good- there is a 3rd on the way with a ------- family.
